SUMMARY Feature Request - Please Add "Open With Default Application" to "Thumbnail Click Action" in Conf > Views > Icons section I am primarily a Windows user who has tried several similar programs, and feel digiKam is "doing things right", However there is one major hold-up that really slows me down or makes me create odd-workarounds, and that's the ability to "open with default application" by default, instead, double clicking an icon only allows it to be previewed or opened via the internal digiKam editor. For me, I open files of many different formats and have my preferred editors / viewers already, and appreciate the ability to right click and "open with", but it's very cumbersome compared to just double clicking a thumnail (or in my case, mapping a mouse button to a key, and then binding that key to the open with default application action, which then unfortunately interferes with other applications where I need access to that mouse button). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to Settings 2. Select Configure digiKam 3. Select "Views" 4. Select the "Icons" tab from within the views panel. 5. Select "thumnail click action" OBSERVED RESULT The only available options are "show preview" and "start image editor". EXPECTED (hoped for / wished for) RESULT I would request (and would really appreciate!) another option to "Open with default application". SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Pro 10 64 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is a request, not a bug, but it would greatly improve usability (and adoptability) if the option was available. Thank You for your time and for creating such a wonderful product!

Opening with the default application was always been possible with "Windows" key and left double click. Now you can configure it as desired and simply open it with a left double click. Maik
